[Operation of Information Processing System]

Next, processing of information processing system 10 configured asdescribed above will be described with reference to FIG. 6 to FIG. 12.FIG. 6 is a flow chart illustrating processing of the informationprocessing system according to Embodiment 1.

[Step S101]

Processor 101 of information processing server 100 obtains an image ofdelivery person 50 from camera 300 (hereinafter also referred to as acamera image). FIG. 7 is an example of camera image 301 according toEmbodiment 1. In FIG. 7, camera image 301 includes delivery person 50and item 40. Camera image 301 also includes sheet 41 on whichidentification information identifying content information of item 40 isprovided. For example, the identification information is provided onsheet 41 in the form of a bar code and/or a character string.

[Step S102]

Processor 101 of information processing server 100 obtains the contentinformation of item 40. Specifically, processor 101 first obtains theidentification information from camera image 301. Then, processor 101obtains the content information of item 40 based on the obtainedidentification information, by referring to second data 802 a. Forexample, processor 101 obtains 000001 as the identification informationby reading the bar code provided on sheet 41 of camera image 301. Then,by referring to second data 802 a in FIG. 4, processor 101 obtains, asthe content information of item 40, image information . . . /image01.jpgand urgent flag 1 which are associated with 000001.

Note that processor 101 does not necessarily need to obtain the contentinformation of item 40 based on the identification information. Forexample, processor 101 may obtain the content information of item 40based on the date and time of obtainment of the image, by referring tosecond data 802 a. For example, when camera image 301 was captured at11:55 on Oct. 30, 2018, processor 101 may obtain, as the contentinformation of item 40, image information . . . /image01.jpg and urgentflag 1 which are associated with the scheduled delivery date and time2018/10/30 12:00 which is closest to the actual capturing date and time.

[Step S201]

Processor 101 of information processing server 100 obtains a sensorvalue that is an output value of sensor 700. When sensor 700 is an imagesensor, for example, processor 101 obtains image data as the sensorvalue. When sensor 700 is an ON/OFF sensor, for example, processor 101obtains an ON/OFF signal as the sensor value.

[Step S202]

Processor 101 of information processing server 100 obtains a user stateusing sensor 700. Specifically, processor 101 obtains a user state basedon a sensor value obtained by sensor 700, for example. Morespecifically, processor 101 obtains a user state based on a sensor valueby referring to first data 801 a. At this time, processor 101 mayidentify the user based on the sensor value, and obtain a user statebased on the identified user and the sensor value by referring to firstdata 801 a.

For example, when sensor 700 is an image sensor, processor 101recognizes the user based on image data. The method for user recognitionis not particularly limited, and a conventional technique may be used.For example, processor 101 identifies user 20 as USER 1. Here, when theimage data includes Pattern 1, processor 101 obtains, by referring tofirst data 801 a in FIG. 3, a user state indicating that user 20 iscurrently cooking using cooker 600.

When, for example, sensor 700 is an ON/OFF sensor and processor 101obtains an ON signal, processor 101 obtains a user state indicating thatuser 20 is currently cooking using cooker 600. On the other hand, whenprocessor 101 obtains an OFF signal, processor 101 obtains a user stateindicating that user 20 is not cooking using cooker 600.

[Step S301]

Processor 101 of information processing server 100 determines at leastone suggestion. Specifically, processor 101 obtains at least onesuggestion associated with the user state and the content information ofitem 40. For example, processor 101 obtains, by referring to third data803 a, at least one suggestion associated with the obtained user stateand content information of item 40.

For example, when the user state indicates that the user is currentlycooking, and the urgent information included in the content informationof item 40 indicates that the delivery is urgent, processor 101 obtains,by referring to third data 803 a in FIG. 5, a first suggestion to turnoff cooker 600 and a second suggestion to unlock electronic lock 400 onentrance door 30 of the building. For example, when the user stateindicates that the user is currently cooking, and the urgent informationindicates that the delivery is non-urgent, processor 101 obtains, byreferring to third data 803 a in FIG. 5, a first suggestion to requestredelivery of item 40 and a second suggestion to receive item 40. Forexample, when the user state indicates that the user is not cooking, andthe urgent information indicates that the delivery is urgent, processor101 obtains, by referring to third data 803 a in FIG. 5, a firstsuggestion to unlock electronic lock 400 on entrance door 30 of thebuilding. In other words, in this case, processor 101 obtains a singlesuggestion. For example, when the user state indicates that the user isnot cooking, and the urgent information indicates that the delivery isurgent, processor 101 obtains, by referring to third data 803 a in FIG.5, a first suggestion to receive item 40 and a second suggestion torequest redelivery of item 40.

[Step S302]

Processor 101 of information processing server 100 causes displayterminal 200 to display at least one suggestion determined. For example,processor 101 transmits screen data including at least one suggestion todisplay terminal 200. Here, specific examples of a screen displayed bydisplay terminal 200 will be described with reference to FIG. 8 to FIG.12.

FIG. 8 illustrates an example of a first screen according toEmbodiment 1. The first screen is displayed when the user stateindicates that the user is currently cooking and the urgent informationindicates that the delivery is urgent.

As illustrated in FIG. 8, display 204 displays, in sequence from theleft to the right, camera image 211, image 212 of item 40, firstsuggestion 213 to turn off cooker 600, and second suggestion 214 tounlock electronic lock 400 on entrance door 30. Here, when an operationto select first suggestion 213 and/or second suggestion 214 isperformed, device control corresponding to the selected suggestion isperformed. That is to say, the screen of display 204 is segmented. Thescreen includes a region for displaying a camera image, a region fordisplaying the content of an item, and a region for displaying at leastone suggestion. Display 204 also displays, at the top, a current dateand time, a login user, and various states. The display of suchinformation is a mere example, and is not limited to this example.

Camera image 211, image 212 of item 40, and first and second suggestions213 and 214 are respectively displayed in three display regions arrangedhorizontally on display 204. Here, the three display regions areidentical in shape and size. Each of the three display regions is asquare region occupying about one third of the display area of display204. Note that being identical encompasses being substantially identicalas well as being strictly identical. In other words, being identicalmeans being approximately identical. Furthermore, a square encompasses aprecise square and shapes which can be considered substantiallyidentical to a precise square. For example, the screen may include threedisplay regions only. In a more limited example, the screen of display200 may only include three display regions that are identical in sizeand shape.

First suggestion 213 and second suggestion 214 are arranged next to eachother vertically. Here, first suggestion 213 is displayed with higherpriority by being displayed above second suggestion 214. Note that themethod for display with priority is not limited to the verticalarrangement. For example, first suggestion 213 may be displayed withhigher priority by being displayed in a different size or color.

Camera image 211, image 212 of item 40, and first and second suggestions213 and 214 may be displayed on display 204 simultaneously, for example.In other words, the three pieces of information may simultaneously startbeing displayed. Alternatively, for example, after camera image 211 isdisplayed, image 212 of item 40 and first and second suggestions 213 and214 may be displayed with camera image 211. This way, image 212 of item40 and first and second suggestions 213 and 214 are displayed after theuser recognizes camera image 211, thus assisting the user to grasp thecurrent situation in sequence. For example, when the user sees cameraimage 211 and recognizes that a delivery item has arrived, the userconsiders what to do next. By displaying image 212 of item 40 and firstand second suggestions 213 and 214 at this timing, it is possible toprovide the user with information appropriate to the user's situation.For example, since the user in, for example, a residence or an apartmentbuilding uses the system on a daily basis and becomes familiar with theinformation displayed on display 204, camera image 211, image 212 ofitem 40, and first and second suggestions 213 and 214 may be displayedsimultaneously if the user has used the system for a certain period orlonger. Examples of the certain period include one week, one month, andthree months. In the case of an office building, a commercial building,or a hotel, for example, the user may not use the system on a dailybasis, and thus may be unfamiliar with the information displayed ondisplay 204. In the case of an office building, a commercial building,or a hotel, for example, camera image 211 may be displayed first, andimage 212 of item 40 and first and second suggestions 213 and 214 may bedisplayed next, so that even the unfamiliar user can easily understandthe information. Note that although the example above is the case ofdisplaying image 212 of item 40 and first and second suggestions 213 and214 simultaneously, camera image 211, image 212 of item 40, and firstand second suggestions 213 and 214 may be separately displayedsequentially.

The following describes the meaning of camera image 211, image 212 ofitem 40, and first and second suggestions 213 and 214 included in thefirst screen. Camera image 211 is included to allow user 20 to recognizearrival of delivery person 50, when delivery person 50 arrives atentrance door 30 of the building. Image 212 of item 40 is included toshow the content of item 40 delivered by delivery person 50. This allowsuser 20 to recognize item 40 that is being delivered by delivery person50.

The first screen includes first suggestion 213 and second suggestion 214to provide guidance on the next action of user 20 in response to cameraimage 211 and image 212 of item 40. Because user 20 is highly likely toreceive item 40, first suggestion 213 and second suggestion 214 aredisplayed as the next action of user 20 determined based on image 212 ofitem 40. That is to say, first suggestion 213 and second suggestion 214are included based on the presumption that user 20 is highly likely toturn off cooker 600 and/or unlock electronic lock 400 to receive urgentitem 40.

In other words, the first screen includes camera image 301 and image 212of item 40 to allow user 20 to easily check item 40 delivered to user20. Further, the first screen includes first suggestion 213 and secondsuggestion 214 as the next action of user 20 determined based on cameraimage 301 and image 212 of item 40. By seeing the first screen, user 20can check, all at once, the arrival of delivery person 50 deliveringitem 40, the content of item 40, and the next action, and can then takean action.

FIG. 9 illustrates an example of a second screen according toEmbodiment 1. The second screen is displayed when the user stateindicates that the user is currently cooking and the urgent informationindicates that the delivery is non-urgent.

As illustrated in FIG. 9, display 204 displays, in sequence from theleft to the right, camera image 211, image 212 of item 40, firstsuggestion 215 to request redelivery of item 40, and second suggestion216 to receive item 40. Here, when an operation to select firstsuggestion 215 is performed, a third screen, which will be describedlater, is displayed on display 204, for example. On the other hand, whenan operation to select second suggestion 216 is performed, the firstscreen in FIG. 8 is displayed, for example.

By seeing the second screen, user 20 can check, all at once, the arrivalof delivery person 50 delivering item 40, the content of item 40, andthe next action, and can then take an action.

FIG. 10 illustrates an example of the third screen according toEmbodiment 1. The third screen is displayed after the user has selectedthe suggestion to request redelivery of item 40.

As illustrated in FIG. 10, display 204 displays, in sequence from theleft to the right, camera image 211, image 212 of item 40, and graphicaluser interface (GUI) 217 via which user 20 can select a redelivery timeand transmit a redelivery request to information terminal 500 ofdelivery person 50. User 20 can select a redelivery time by operatingGUI 217. For example, by pressing GUI 217, it is possible to transmit aredelivery request to information terminal 500, requesting deliveryperson 50 to redeliver item 40 after the selected number of hours. Thatis to say, a request for redelivery of item 40 is transmitted toinformation terminal 500 when a selection of the suggestion to requestredelivery of item 40 is received.

FIG. 11 illustrates an example of a fourth screen according toEmbodiment 1. The fourth screen is displayed when the user stateindicates that the user is not cooking and the urgent informationindicates that the delivery is urgent.

As illustrated in FIG. 11, display 204 displays, in sequence from theleft to the right, camera image 211, image 212 of item 40, and firstsuggestion 218 to unlock electronic lock 400 on entrance door 30. Here,when an operation to select first suggestion 218 is performed,electronic lock 400 is unlocked.

By seeing the fourth screen, user 20 can check, all at once, the arrivalof delivery person 50 delivering item 40, the content of item 40, andthe next action, and can then take an action.

[Step S303]

Processor 101 of information processing server 100 performs controlbased on the suggestion selected. For example, processor 101 transmitsan unlock signal to electronic lock 400 on entrance door 30 when displayterminal 200 receives a selection of the suggestion to unlock electroniclock 400 (second suggestion 214 in FIG. 8, for example). This way,electronic lock 400 is unlocked. For example, an OFF signal istransmitted to cooker 600 when display terminal 200 receives a selectionof the suggestion to turn off cooker 600 (first suggestion 213 in FIG.8, for example). This way, cooker 600 becomes non-operational. Whenentrance door 30 is an entrance door in a public space of, for example,an apartment building, an office building, or a commercial building,electronic lock 400 may be unlocked after a lapse of a first period orless, following the reception of the unlock signal. An example of thefirst period is a period required for communication, or a few seconds.However, when entrance door 30 is an entrance door leading directly to aprivate space such as a residence, an office, or a shop, delivery person50 can enter the private space before the user arrives at entrance door30, and thus, the user may not feel safe using the system. In view ofthis, as compared to electronic lock 40 on entrance door 30 to a publicspace, electronic lock 40 on entrance door 30 to a private space may beunlocked after a lapse of a second period which is longer than the firstperiod, following the reception of the unlock signal. An example of thesecond period is an average period required for the user to come toentrance door 30, or 30 seconds. Alternatively, the second period may beuser-settable. For example, in the case of a residence, the secondperiod may be set to a time period corresponding to the distance fromthe user to the kitchen.

Advantageous Effects, etc.

As described above, in information processing system 10 according to thepresent embodiment, information processing server 100 can: (a) obtain,using sensor 700, a user state indicating whether user 20 is currentlycooking using cooker 600, when an image of delivery person 50 deliveringitem 40 to a building in which user 20 is present is captured by camera300 provided at entrance door 30 of the building; (b) obtain contentinformation of item 40; (c) obtain at least one suggestion associatedwith the user state and the content information of item 40; and (d)cause display terminal 200 provided in the building to display the imageof delivery person 50, the content information of item 40, and the atleast one suggestion.

This makes it possible to display, on display terminal 200, at least onesuggestion according to the user state and the content information ofitem 40. That is to say, at least one suggestion appropriate to user 20and item 40 can be presented to user 20. Moreover, since the contentinformation of item 40 can be displayed in addition to the image ofdelivery person 50, user 20 can determine the next action based on thecontent of item 40. Accordingly, when delivery person 50 delivering item40 arrives, it is possible to effectively present user 20 withinformation which assists user 20 in determining the next action. Ininformation processing system 10 according to the present embodiment,the content information of item 40 includes urgent informationindicating whether delivery of item 40 is urgent, and in (c), when theuser state indicates that user 20 is currently cooking and the urgentinformation indicates that the delivery is urgent, informationprocessing server 100 can obtain, as the at least one suggestion, asuggestion to turn off cooker 600 and a suggestion to unlock electroniclock 400 on entrance door 30 of the building.

With this, when item 40 of an urgent delivery arrives while user 20 iscooking, it is possible to effectively present the user with suggestionsof actions necessary for safely receiving item 40. That is to say, it ispossible to present user 20 with a suggestion of an action that reducesoccurrence of an accident with cooker 600 while inhibiting apostponement of reception of item 40 of the urgent delivery, and it ispossible to more effectively present user 20 with information whichassists user 20 in determining the next action.

In information processing system 10 according to the present embodiment,in (c), when the user state indicates that user 20 is currently cookingand the urgent information indicates that the delivery is non-urgent,information processing server 100 can obtain, as the at least onesuggestion, a suggestion to request redelivery of item 40 and asuggestion to receive item 40.

With this, when item 40 of a non-urgent delivery arrives while user 20is cooking, it is possible to present a suggestion to request redeliveryof item 40 and a suggestion to receive item 40, from which user 20 canselect the next action. That is to say, with reference to the contentinformation of item 40, user 20 can determine, for each item 40, whetherto request redelivery of item 40 or to receive item 40. In other words,information processing server 100 can more effectively present user 20with information which assists user 20 in determining the next action.

In information processing system 10 according to the present embodiment,in (c), when the user state indicates that user 20 is not cooking andthe urgent information indicates that the delivery is urgent,information processing server 100 can obtain, as the at least onesuggestion, a suggestion to unlock electronic lock 400 on entrance door30 of the building.

With this, when item 40 of an urgent delivery arrives while user 20 isnot cooking, it is possible to effectively present the user with asuggestion of an action necessary for receiving item 40. In such a case,user 20 is less likely to select, as the next action, request redeliveryof item 40, and thus, it is possible to more effectively present user 20with information which assists user 20 in determining the next action.

In information processing system 10 according to the present embodiment,in (c), when the user state indicates that user 20 is not cooking andthe urgent information indicates that the delivery is urgent,information processing server 100 can obtain, as the at least onesuggestion, a suggestion to receive item 40 and a suggestion to requestredelivery of item 40.

With this, when item 40 of an urgent delivery arrives while user 20 isnot cooking, it is possible to present a suggestion to receive item 40and a suggestion to request redelivery of item 40, from which user 20can select the next action. That is to say, with reference to thecontent information of item 40, user 20 can determine, for each item 40,whether to receive item 40 or to request redelivery of item 40. In otherwords, information processing server 100 can more effectively presentuser 20 with information which assists user 20 in determining the nextaction.

Note that although the content information of item 40 according to thepresent embodiment includes the urgent information, the contentinformation of item 40 is not limited to this. For example, the contentinformation of item 40 may include the type of item 40. For example, thetype of item 40 is fresh food, frozen food, or the like. In such a case,at least one suggestion is obtained based on the user state and the typeof item 40.

Note that the content information of item 40 in the present embodimentincludes an image of item 40; however, a product name of item 40 may beincluded instead of an image of item 40. The content information of item40 may include both an image of item 40 and a product name of item 40.

Note that the screens and data illustrated in the present embodiment aremere examples, and the present disclosure is not limited to theseexamples. For example, the display regions in which the three pieces ofinformation are displayed need not be identical in size and shape. Thecombinations of (i) a user state and an urgent flag and (ii) a firstsuggestion and a second suggestion, illustrated in FIG. 5, are a mereexample, and the present disclosure is not limited to this example.First suggestions and second suggestions different from those in FIG. 5may be associated with user states and urgent flags.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 13, Unlock may be used as the firstsuggestion and Receive Later as the second suggestion. For example, asillustrated in FIG. 14, Cooker OFF may be used as the first suggestionand Receive Later as the second suggestion. For example, as illustratedin FIG. 15, Receive Now may be used as the first suggestion and SelectRedelivery Time as the second suggestion. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 16, Unlock & Cooker OFF may be used as the first suggestion andReceive Later as the second suggestion.

Note that the user states and the values of the urgent flag that lead tothe screen examples in FIG. 8 to FIG. 16 are not particularly limited,and any user state and any value of the urgent flag may lead to thescreen examples in FIG. 8 to FIG. 16.

Note that in the present embodiment, first data 801 a, second data 802a, and third data 803 a are referred to, however; the present disclosureis not limited to this. For example, first data 801 a need not bereferred to. In such a case, whether or not the user is currentlycooking may be directly determined based on the ON/OFF signal of cooker600, for example. Further, second data 802 a need not be referred to. Insuch a case, the content information of item 40 may be directly obtainedfrom a camera image, for example. Further, third data 803 a need not bereferred to. In such a case, third data 803 a may be hard coded.

Note that in the present embodiment, the processing order of the flowchart in FIG. 6 is a mere example, and the present disclosure is notlimited to this example. For example, Steps S201 and S202 may beperformed before Steps S101 and 102.

After the service providing system is used for a certain time period andafter Step S303 is finished, a selection screen may be displayed for theuser to select the user's preferred display mode for display 200 in StepS302, out of a display mode in which plural pieces of information aresequentially displayed in the display regions and a display mode inwhich plural pieces of information are simultaneously displayed in thedisplay regions. The display mode for Step S302 which is to be appliednext time the service is provided is determined based on the displaymode selected by the user.

Note that the user may be given a choice among the first to fifthscreens illustrated in FIG. 8 to FIG. 12. For example, the initialsetting may be the first screen, and after the processing of the flowchart illustrated in FIG. 6 is finished, display 200 may display, to theuser, the first to fifth screens and a message prompting the user toselect a screen which the user wishes to be displayed from next timeonward. From next time onward, suggestions are displayed to the userbased on the screen selected by the user. For example, the first tofifth screens are displayed in a temporal order. Further, whenprocessing is performed a certain number of times on the screen whichthe user has selected, display 200 may display again the first to fifthscreens and a message prompting the user to select a screen which theuser wishes to be displayed from next time onward. Examples of thecertain number of times include 10, 30, and 50. When the user isrepeatedly prompted to select a screen for every certain number of timesand the user successively selects the same screen, the user need not beprompted to select a screen after that.
